The Inheritance Significance of Dong Nationality's Wooden Structure Building Skills

Dong people are born artists, and folk craftsmen have superb architectural talent. When they build buildings, bridges and houses, they don't need a drawing, and the whole structure is by heart. They can use simple bamboo sticks as the criterion, unique Mohist writing as the design mark, and ordinary woodworking tools and wood to make buildings and bridges with different styles and beautiful shapes. Exquisite design and beautiful shape are amazing. Various patterns on buildings, bridges and carved beams and painted buildings have entrusted the Dong people's good wishes and aesthetic pursuit of good weather and abundant crops, which is a concentrated expression of Dong cultural characteristics.

What is worrying is that due to the lack of successors of Dong architectural craftsmen, the lack of wood sources, the fire prevention ability of wood structure buildings is extremely weak, easy to be damaged and difficult to regenerate, and the Dong wood structure buildings and related skills are in a continuous crisis. Only by strengthening the rescue and protection work can the Dong people's wooden building skills be passed down from generation to generation.
